Du glaubst was sie sagen [English translation]

You go around in the shopping arcades

And on those very grey days, you go take a look

At what they've got in store,

You can barely carry all the junk back home

And the advertisement shines so bright:

"Yes, what you see here is the latest model,

You should still buy it today

Soon they'll be gone, they're selling fast

And we even have the matching suit

Man, it really suits you well

You get two for the price of one,

Is that not a deal? Come one, wrap it up"

They fill you up with all their nonsense talk,

And suddenly shit shines like gold, just like gold

Yes, they smile at you, so charming,

Yet they're just messing around, messing around with you

And you know they're lying, yet you believe what they say

Yes, you know they're lying, yet you don't ask any question

You lie awake and stare at the wall,

And because you can' sleep at night,

You turn on the TV, you zap from channel to channel

The commercial shines in the brightest colours:

"You can get it if you act fast!

Just think about all you could save

The contract only lasts 24 years"

And on the quiz on the next channel,

The answer is easy, and yet no one calls in

Maybe you'll get rich, so just give it a call

Only 50 cents, you'll probably get through right away

They fill you up with all their nonsense talk,

And suddenly shit shines like gold, just like gold

Yes, they smile at you, so charming,

Yet they're just messing around, messing around with you

And you know they're lying, yet you believe what they say

Yes, you know they're lying, yet you don't ask any question

What you don't have, you need

What you have, you don't need anymore

What you don't need, you buy

And you buy and buy, always more

What you don't have, you need

What you have, you don't need anymore

What you don't need, you buy

And you buy and buy, always more

They fill you up with all their nonsense talk,

And suddenly shit shines like gold, just like gold

Yes, they smile at you, so charming,

Yet they're just messing around, messing around with you

And you know they're lying, yet you believe what they say

Yes, you know they're lying, yet you don't ask any question
